When heat \(Q\) is supplied to a diatomic gas of rigid molecules, at constant volume its temperature increases by \(\Delta T,\) the heat required to produce the same change in temperature, at a constant pressure is:
1. \( \dfrac{7}{5} Q \)
2. \(\dfrac{3}{2} Q \)
3. \( \dfrac{2}{3} Q \)
4. \( \dfrac{5}{3} Q\)
| 1. | \(\dfrac{5}{3}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{5}{2}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{7}{5}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{9}{7}\) |
| (i) | process \(AB\) – Isobaric expansion quadrupling the volume |
| (ii) | process \(BC\) – Isochoric cooling |
| (iii) | process \(CA\) – Adiabatic compression |

| 1. | For this gas, \(C_V=2R\) | 2. | \(C_P=3R\) |
| 3. | \(\gamma=\dfrac32\) | 4. | All the above are true |
A diatomic gas, having \(C_P=\dfrac{7}{2}R\) and \(C_V=\dfrac{5}{2}R\) is heated at constant pressure. The ratio of \(dU:dQ:dW\) is:
1. \(5:7:3\)
2. \(5:7:2\)
3. \(3:7:2\)
4. \(3:5:2\)
